How To Create A SIMPLE Content Strategy

“How do you create so much content so quickly?”
“How do you just KNOW what to post?”
“How can you write 2-3-4 blogs in under an hour?”
“How do you type enough content for the whole month so quickly?”

These are all questions i’ve gotten from my clients. Don’t worry, everyone wonders this at least once or twice during the start up, take off, or growth of their business. If you google “how to create content” you will become LOST and confused with all the fancy spreadsheets, convoluted breakdowns, LISTS of things to help you come up with topics… I know I sure was when I first started out.

I spent hours online trying to come up with content. I looked through pinterest for tips like I was being paid to do so. I checked out all sorts of blogs, forums, highly sought after mentors, and somehow creating bunches of content was this mystical unicorn that so many talked about but no one REALLY explained.

​

So I NEED to break it down

First and foremost you need to ask yourself what you want to accomplish when you share your content.

Do you want to meet your sales goals?
Do you want more reviews?
Do you want leads?
Do you want to attract your perfect client?
Are you show casing your knowledge?
Do you want to find new customers?

This is just a short list of questions to ask yourself, by all means decide what your purpose is and we can work towards it.

Think about how you want your content to help your business then well break it down into more specific goals. ​

Topics You Want To Cover

Take a look at the goals you decided to go for a few seconds ago and think about what you will need to cover in order to achieve those goals.

For example: I am always looking to reach new mommas who are wanting to leave their 9-5’s and stay home with their kiddos, stay at home moms who are looking to start an online business, moms who have sorta started a business. In common all three of those moms can’t seem the find the time to run it with all the mom life going on. I things for time management, organization, planning, content creation and growth.

What I did was pick 5 topics I know inside and out and I break them down into large topics and tailor them to what my goal is. If I want to sell a product I may share a Facebook post about starting, growing, making money, fool proof plans to do it. I might share my link to my paid product, I might redirect them to a free opt-in that leads to a paid product, I may ask who is interested and then send them a message directly. ​

How Often To Share

Unless you just enjoy being online at all hours of the day and night I suggest you learn what times your audience is online and looking to learn. You might have to experiment a little at first to find out when you get the most engagement and what types of post get the most engagement (post no picture, post with picture, video, gif, blog, etc).
​
One thing to keep in the back of your mind is that consistency ALWAYS beats frequency. What I mean is that if you are showing up every day and sharing with your audience you are making more of an impact than if you showed up for a week posting 4-5 times a day and then go AWOL for a month. ​

Content Delivery

This is where you will decide how best to share your amazeballs content. If you tend to get long winded with tons of great info you might think about blogging, videos, or even podcasts. If you share quick tips, inspirational quotes, bits of your long content than you may think about just making a quick social media post. ​

Is What Im Sharing Helping

This part is where SOOOOOO many people drop the ball. You need to TRACK, in some way, how your content is performing. This helps you decide if you need to tweak something, eliminate something, share more on something, etc. Take a look at your goals and figure out if you’re on track to meeting them.

​You might look at your page views, comments, likes, shares, the stats on your blog site, etc. However you do it make sure you are doing it EVERY WEEK! A month or so into tracking you’ll start to see patterns of what is performing well and what isn’t and you can tweak your plan from there.

After I spent a ton of time looking through HUNDREDS of others of content creation calendars that were so “intricate” well say I decided all the hubaloo needed to go and it need to be made simple. ​
